VirtualBox is an application designed to test an operating system without having to install it.

The main benefit of VirtualBox is that it allows to mount any operating system, without altering the correct use of your Windows. For example, you have the option of running in a window any Linux distribution, Windows, Solaris, OpenBSD, among many others.

VirtualBox is the ideal program for those users who want to test how applications work in different systems to seriously consider migrating. It is also ideal for developers of mobile software and applications, since it allows running all sorts of platforms.

Bear in mind that VirtualBox is simply a mounting application, therefore you’ll have to get the virtual images of the operating systems you want to test.

Pros:
• Intuitive interface
• Wide support of operating systems
• Unlimited images (depending on available hard disk space)

Cons:
• Nothing outstanding
